Japanese Beetle Trap Refill – BioProtec Pheromone Lure Cartridge

The BioProtec pheromone lure cartridge is a refill designed to effectively attract adult beetles to compatible traps. Thanks to its gradual diffusion, this Japanese beetle pheromone helps monitor populations and targeted trapping throughout the insects' active period.

This refill is ideal for gardeners and homeowners who want to better control the presence of the Japanese beetle in gardens, lawns, fruit trees, shrubs, and ornamental crops.

What is this Japanese beetle trap refill used for

This cartridge is inserted into a compatible BioProtec trap to attract certain adult beetles, particularly the Japanese beetle, chafers, and some flower chafers, depending on the reference used.

The pheromone lure diffuses a specific attractant that helps concentrate insects in the trap, thus facilitating population monitoring and reducing damage to sensitive plants.

This refill is a practical solution for those looking for a high-performance Japanese beetle lure or a pheromone refill for a Japanese beetle trap.
